OK, I get it know.

Keeping a ref_ptr<> is not such a bad solution - the memory involved is tiny, but.. the performance won't be as good, although given your adding uniqueID and counting of this then the alternative isn't free. I'll do a review of your code and make a judgement call on whether to run with a uniqueID, a ref_ptr<> or an alternative.
